Riven's evil post made me think more about the people who lack appreciation/recognition for there contributions to this fantastic community. And so I would like to call out the following individuals:
ChrisM - Started it all, the one thing I regret about my JavaOne visit a few years back was not having the courage to introduce myself. I loved your response and you should totally re-post it here.
princec - Your tireless struggle to make a career out of this has been inspiring to us all.
MarkusPersson - Where did you go?
KevGlass - When you get as rich as Markus I'm pretty sure you'll still visit.
Appel - Turned Java4K into the phenomenon that it is.
Riven - You gloriously evil bastard.
Anyone I've missed?

I totally forgot Kappa, his contributions to LWJGL alone merit a shout out, Matzon also in that vein definitely deserves a mention. I'm sure there are a ton of less vocal members of the community who deserver much more recognition than they get.

Hey thanks alot  Appel/jojoh are doing an awesome job (and the new site is better than mine was!), but to toot my own horn here, I ran the 2005, 2006, and 2007 seasons! which - except for 2009 - were the most popular in contest history |

I knew the second I started singling people out I'd offend via omission. The list was just off the top of my head and I know there are many more, I was hoping others would point some out.

I believe princec is the one that began LWJGL and Matzon/Kappa continued developing it.

Rather a lot of contribution from Elias and Spasi made that happen too. I just kicked it off and wandered off to start using it. Honestly, I'm way overrated - I just talk too much. Cas |

When I get that lifetime achievement trophy on stage, maybe in Las Vegas because I like slot machines, from the JGO community, I'll cut it in half and give woogley it. The other half I'll give to [you]. Ok, getting old |

Thin-skinned? What does that even mean? Low natural damage reduction %? I'm gonna wear my full kewlar (SPELLED CORRECTLY (YES IT IS)) vest all the time from now on, to compensate for my thin skin.

[you] should use [ you ] remove the spaces [ y o u ] or remove the periods [.y.o.u.] |

At first when I saw my name I was like "What did I do? O_o".
Then I understood it was some sort of script XD
On a serious note though, ra4king is always buzzing around helping people with their code in the help sections so I think he deserves some credit as well.
